Full time at Old Trafford: Man Utd 1-1 Arsenal
It’s finished all square at Old Trafford, where fairly abject Arsenal have got out of jail courtesy of a late Olivier Giroud equaliser to cancel out Juan Mata’s opener for Manchester United. Here’s how Scott Murray saw the action unfold and we’ll have report and colour from the ground very shortly.
GOAL! Manchester United 1-1 Arsenal
Substitute Olivier Giroud equalises with feeble Arsenal’s first shot on goal since the 39th minute to level the scores at Old Trafford. If they rescue a point out of this match, it will be one they scarcely deserve. Follow the final couple of minutes with Scott Murray.
